Hanque O . . . - Baptism

Late night swimming
pool lights off
as are our bathing suits.

A suburban summer
rite of passage
warm fresh chlorinated water

irresistible
entwined legs tread as one
lightly sensually.

For a moment
a hint of sea engulfs us
a whisper of salt.

God bless curiosity, willingness
sleeping parents.

Hanque O . . .
